Hideo Kojima‘s long-awaited new game Death Stranding finally comes out later this week. There’s a lot of excitement and buzz surrounding this game because it looks awesome and it has a crazy interesting setting and story. While we wait for the game to be released, though, I’ve got a documentary here for you to check out that gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the game was made.
The doc came with the following notes:
Death Stranding is the first game from legendary game creator Hideo Kojima's new studio - one of the industry’s most famous and influential characters, described as the Spielberg of gaming.
Our cameras have world exclusive behind the scenes access to Kojima Productions in the final days of the game's production.
It’s a science fiction title that Kojima tells us was made as a reaction to Donald Trump and Brexit.
He claims it could change how players from across the world interact in future, and the gaming community is hoping for something truly innovative.
Filmed over three days at the studio - this exclusive documentary gains a unique insight into the unorthodox methods of one of gaming most successful people, finds out more about the influences shaping this mysterious game and ahead of its release and asks - can it really live up to the hype surrounding it?
There’s certainly a lot of cool and interesting stuff to see and learn about regarding the game. So, if you’re excited about playing it, this is a video you’ll want to watch.
Norman Reedus plays Sam Porter Bridges, who is said to no longer be a Strand, but he is sent on a journey to perform a task nobody else is able to complete. This will lead to re-establishing the United Cities of America (UCA) and helping rebuild the country. Here’s the synopsis:
In the near future, mysterious explosions have rocked the planet, setting off a series of supernatural events known as the Death Stranding. With spectral creatures plaguing the landscape, and the planet on the verge of a mass extinction, it’s up to Sam Bridges to journey across the ravaged wasteland and save mankind from impending annihilation.
The game also stars Mads Mikkelsen as Cliff, who is a researcher who speaks to a weird baby in a pod. He also plays the role of a badass commander of a squadron of skeletal soldiers. The game also stars Lea Seydoux as Fragile, Margaret Qualley as Mama, Guillermo del Toro as Deadman, Nicolas Winding Refn as Heartman, Tommy Earl Jenkins as Die-Hardman, Troy Baker as Higgs, and Lindsay Wagner as Amelie.
Death Stranding is scheduled to release on November 8th for PlayStation 4.
